all battery connections good? Chassis ground--engine grounds all good? Your saying the starter motor cranks ok? If you have the standard obd2 datalink connector? Pin 16 is voltage, hot all the time. pins 4 and 5 are grounds. I'm not sure what testing you've done? One way to tell if computer awake, turn on the key, check any sensor that uses a ref voltage, if no voltage, that leads back to computer. Have to check computer voltage and ground circuits for computer. .
